I am incredibly fulfilled by witnessing growth in my students, and love the "Ah-HA!" moments. My approach is based on the student's learning patterns and interests, and tailor my lessons to each individual student. I feel that music is the ultimate form of expression, and I try to make my foundation as limitless as possible. Growth is the main goal for me and my students. My job is not to make virtuosos, but to give my students the right practice and motivational tools so they can accomplish their goals while also having fun. Read More

I have been teaching lessons in my own home, online, or in my students home consistently for the past 9 years when I first started at the tail end of my senior year in high school. Teaching lessons quickly became my part time job in college, and from there, it continued onward! I took my academic and recreational background on violin, guitar, and voice and carried it into my private lessons. Read More
Instruments: Piano Voice
Working with many different teachers and many different musical genres has enabled him to personalize his lessons to the musical interests of each student. As a teacher, his use of exercises backed by scientific research coupled with an emphasis on increasing confidence and freedom in singing has helped his students achieve results in real time. For Chris, seeing his students gain access to new opportunities, learn step-by-step how to drop unhelpful habits and become skilled at balancing consistent practice with creative thinking are all part of what makes him so wholeheartedly engaged in teaching the art of singing.

For a creative activity, I encourage my students to relax and have fun while learning about the nuances of the music playing to comprehend the relationship between the theory and the performance. I believe that music learning is just like the alphabet, learning each letter by the time. My personal goal is to teach my students how to be performers and play beautiful music on the concert stage. A concert can be as little as one piece in a family dinner or a gig in a teacher while learning that we can captivate an audience and drive their emotions with our music. Read More
Instruments: Piano Ukulele
Although I have been involved in studying and performing music since an early age, I did not teach music much until I retired from my career as a university professor. Since then I have taught for about 10 years total, beginning guitar, ukulele, and piano (beginning through intermediate), first for a music store and later in my home. I have recently moved to Kyle, where I developed my teaching studio, but the Covid pandemic led to my stopping teaching for some time. Read More

For beginning drum set students, the program I recommend is starting with Drum Set Essentials by Peter Erskine. As skills in rudiments and basic patterns develop, I go on to materials such as Syncopation by Ted Reed (reading,coordination,technique), and Stick Control by George Lawrence Stone (technique). For piano, I go over basic theory,major and minor scales,chords and arpeggios and work in Piano For Adults by James Bastien. Read More

What advice do you have about practicing effectively?
Humans are creatures of habit and our physical abilities are dependent on muscle memory. In order to practice effectively it needs to be part of a regular routine, not an appointment, special occasion, or chore.
If we can practice 5 hours a week, we see significant progress in the first year.
My advice is to find a time when you won't be rushed or distracted. The end of the school/work day, when all of your obligations are fulfilled is best. Some days 60 minutes will be enough time to make significant progress, sometimes 60 minutes won't allow you much advancement, but 60 minutes, 5 days in a row, will yield noticeable improvement. Muscle memory is more deeply programmed when we sleep, so returning to a failed task the following day will recently yield success. As we experience this success we are more inclined to practice each day. I highly recommend playing 1 hour a day, when the day is done, Monday through Friday.
How do I know if my child is ready to start lessons?
If a child has an obvious attachment to music, like singing constantly and sounding out tunes on an instrument, then it may be time to consider lessons. Children can learn as early as 5 years old, but its hard to get a genuine commitment out of a child younger than 8.
If a child is agreeable, has shown a sustained interest and is the sort of kid who completes homework or enjoys sports practice, then there is a good bet that they'll practice enough to see results.
In many cases piano is a great way to create good habit like discipline, commitment and project completion.
When will I start to see results?
That depends on a great many variables. Talent and commitment are the most important factors to seeing results. With a commitment of 5 hours a week a child or young adult can see significant results in 6-12 weeks.
If one begins lessons early enough one can see seriously impressive results within 6 months. If one practices 5+ hours a week with regular lessons at the end of 2 years one can feel so comfortable on their instrument that they won't be able to remember a time when they couldn't play proficiently.
Why did you choose your primary instrument?
I learned to play on the 1954 Wurlitzer spinet that my Mother's Mother bought and played. My mother learned to play on that piano and I began playing on that piano when I was 5 years old. Piano was a form of discipline in my household, but I had a healthy appetite for music for as long as I can remember.
At 13 I took up saxophone and later bass. At 18 I realized the superior utility of the keyboards. A saxophone is monophonic, a bass requires not hands to create a limited amount of notes, but piano is the only instrument played in chromatic half-steps, left to right, low to high, with 88 note polyphony, and rhythmic independence for each hand. No brainer.
